Description
My code worked fine with exceljs up to v. 0.2.4 but doesn't work with recent exceljs versions (0.2.6 and above) with following error:
Unhandled rejection TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of null

Line 111 of col-cache.js is part of decodeAddress function:
var col = value.match(/[A-Z]+/)[0];
Basically, what happens here, is that decodeEx function for some reason gets 'Some Text'!$1:$1 as a parameter, then splits it two times to get "$1" string and then sends it to the decodeAddress. In that function it gets evaluated against regexp and that search returns null because there is no uppercase letters in the "$1" string. And then it takes first item from null, which obviously throws an exception.
I hope that my explanation is clear and it will help to solve this issue.
Btw, thank you for the library, it helps a lot.
